Package: openssh
Version: 1:8.7p1-3
Severity: serious
Tag: patch

Hi,

I think there's a typo here (running openssh-client postinst with set -x):

--snip--
+ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/rcp rcp /usr/bin/scp 20 --slave 
/usr/share/man/man1/rcp.1.gz rcp.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/rcp.1.gz
--snap--

which makes installing openssh-client fail with:

--snip--
update-alternatives: <link> and <path> can't be the same

Use 'update-alternatives --help' for program usage information.
dpkg: error processing package openssh-client (--configure):
 installed openssh-client package post-installation script subprocess 
returned error exit status 2
--snap--

Patch is attached.

Regards,
Daniel
